Primmerton, Texas

Primmerton, Texas was a town built in 1817 by the United States in what is now Grayson County in northern Texas. The town developed as a railroad town, with Amelia Black and the Falcon Company expanding what used to be Major Ryan Cooper's US Army base into a town with a church, market, and several buildings.

History
Primmerton was named for Josiah Primmer, a pioneer from Massachusetts who moved to the Louisiana Territory-Tejas border region. Primmerton turned into a railroad town with the establishment of the transcontinental railroad in the region, and the Falcon Company build trading posts and tracks along the former travois trade route. The town housed a US Army garrison under Major Ryan Cooper, and Primmerton was the location of a war between the Falcon Company and the rival St. Louis Rail Company, resulting in Amelia Black and the soldiers burning down the rival company's trading posts and building a railroad along the route.
